Sorry to bug you, but could you give me the cliffs notes on what happened to Best and Chahub and the issues with 9naa? Thank you

Sure thing!

So basically when Best and Chahub's series Check Out first aired on iqiyi it was unavailable to watch in many countries. This prompted the director of the series to give an interview saying that the series was too explicit to show on any other platform such as youtube, and that they were looking into maybe broadcasting it via onlyfans.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with onlyfans and what it's used for, but you could argue that it's a very strange thing to say for a professional director who would probably be better off showing his series on other platforms more suited to traditional longform entertainment (like gagaoolala, the patron saint of queer media 🙏).

Add to that that pornography is illegal in Thailand, and any mentioning of it in an actor's portfolio is probably... not that great.

The director further said that during the filming of the intimate scenes they decided to do away with all protective clothing because it just couldn't be done otherwise (decades of spicy scenes in film beg to differ but ok). The actors were fully naked. They didn't decide this beforehand but directly on set. Many fans have later speculated that due to the stressful and time-sensitive nature of a film set, this might have been coercive and exploitative.

The scenes that were later shown in the series were actually not especially spicy. Certainly not spicy enough to call them "25+". Actually, they were so unremarkable (as far as spicy scenes go) that the series has since been re-released on youtube (albeit probably as a cut version? I'm not sure. I haven't watched it) - the very platform 9naa was so sure would ban them if they even so much as looked at the upload button.

Throughout the whole shock value promotion (because what else could it possibly have been?) the actors themselves stayed strangely quiet. They're apparently on record saying that they value their intimate scenes as art. That's it. There was no further promo. There were no follow-up jobs. Best and Chahub weren't in the special ep (according to mdl Best was but I can't remember him showing up hm). They were either quietly dropped by 9naa or bid their time until their contracts expired.

None of this is especially scummy or even illegal (at least as far as we know). It does leave a sour aftertaste however, because companies like 9naa always have the upper hand over their actors. A lot would have to happen for an (inexperienced) actor to speak up because breaking contracts and NDAs would mean losing their jobs and potentially being blacklisted and/or sued (even Yoon Phusanu only came forward after Y.Ent had already broken contract by not paying him until a set date).

So if a company makes weirdly sensational claims that they later either conveniently forget about or passive-aggressively backtrack on, then that's weird. If they show no interest in promoting their own talent and have a strangely high turnover rate for rookie actors, then that's even weirder.

And this isn't an isolated case. 9naa had a whole series planned with MFlow Entertainment. Beyond the Star was supposed to star actors from both companies, only for MFlow to later finish and broadcast the series on their own due to "differences in vision and work attitudes", editing out as many of 9naa's actors as they could. Weird, don't you think?

And, most recently, Cheque Wacharawee (from 9naa's Venus in the Sky) withdrew from any follow-up projects in a letter posted to his instagram because he had concerns due to work attitudes and couldn't even reach 9naa's lawyer (notice that he too only spoke up after 9naa had already violated his contract). 9naa reacted days later with their own very subdued announcement that has since been deleted. Very, very weird.

Who do you think is to blame here? The actors (most of whom are inexperienced and in Chahub's case haven't really acted since), MFlow (a small but reliable company that makes series that aren't always the most cohesive but at least the actors seem happy 🙏) or 9naa who's at the centre of it all?

Personally, as a fan of both Best Vittawin and Cheque Wacharawee, I've decided to no longer support or watch anything by 9naa. Kiseki Chapter 2 sounds nice and I hope its leads are doing well. Maybe the company has since learned from their previous unprofessionalism but people should at least be aware that they have something of a shady track record.

And if you want to support Best, you can watch his new series Knock Knock Boys which is set to release soon. 💜

About my "Never Be The Same" (NBTS) Limoreau fic:

Just realized I've been mentioning it but did really go into what it's about/the basic idea of it. I've been writing this fic since January when a friend convinced me I should write it. It's the Limoreau/Gen V fic I wanted to read, and I had never really written a fic (that I planned on posting) before, which is why I've been holding on to it/working for a while now. I want it to actually be good. Or at least consumable, lol.

↓

So yeah, basically, it's a cannon divergence from the finale of the first season (no white room), basically picks up a couple of days after the events of the finale. I wanted to write a fic about what it would be like if they had a chance at a "normal" life. Or as normal as it can be. Vought still exists and they're still a bunch of bastards, but Jordan and Marie's goals are no longer aligned with wanting to be in The Seven. Emma has a chance to do things how she wants to (none of the bullshit with her mom and Vought). And Andre also has an interesting arc going on imo.

It's gonna be a long, multi chapter fic. There will be time skips. Basically working our way through their lives, with a special focus on Marie and Jordan and how their relationship unfolds as they grow up and find their places in the world, growing into their own people and all that jazz. There will be angst!!! So much that I start out with a lot of soft fluff shit, lol. But by chapter 6 / 7 angst starts coming in full force. Which is fun for me, but yeah. There will be tears, I apologize.

So yeah, we're (Jordan and Marie) will go through some shit, but don't worry, eventually things even out and we get to see how they are together as proper adults with, like, fully developed brains and maybe some therapy skills. We love that for them.

Emma's gonna be fine. Doing great actually. She deserves it.

And I don't want to give too much away about Andre quite yet. Gonna have to wait and see for that.

(Vought being a bastard is a big theme in the first saga [for lack of a better term], but we deal with that too, trust.)

(right place, wrong time, is also an overarching theme for the lovely couple.)

That's about as much as I can say to sell you on reading this fic, lol. I've just been working really hard on it and I've had a lot of support and help from a good friend ( @paperdoll201 , love you 💜) along the way. And according to them it's a good read so far, which is great to know. So yeah, like I said before I'm gonna start releasing chapters after I reach a certain checkpoint in the story (when the angst hits hard), which is basically already done with. (like a chapter or two left to write).

So I think I can say with certainty that I'll start releasing chapters sometime next month. So I hope it's worth the wait and the hype I'm giving it, lol. Even if it's not, I hope at least someone enjoys the read. This ship has me by the neck, I'm only doing what the dreams are telling me to do.

(there's also a playlist attached that I'm working on organizing so you can get those vibes . Lol.)

Keep writing. Keep reading.

Much love. 😎👍❤️

I just know it if afk journey allow vulgar words, Lorsan would say "FUCK" each time he says "CURSES!!" in the game, this man canonically say "I don't have enough curses in my dictionary" when he's so mad at eomir, meaning he had wide ranges of curse words and swear like a sailor if he were allow to 😂😭😭

And merlin adding fuel to the fire "I can lean you mine!!" make me think he about to teach lorsan some curse word in ancient or dead languages that he know (tho he doesn't remember how he know it), much to byrson and lyca dismay😭😭😭

They be menace together and I love that, Lorsan just makes merlin more prone to be more chaotic (at least in my head) , I just know under different situation if they meet not from the corruption mess, they'd be in sooooo much trouble together (TRUST) 😭😭

#Like I imagine merlin with valen he's like tamer ykwim?? Valen kept merlin in check but he's not with valen he's with LORSAN #So all his logical reasoning just goes out the window cuz valen holding it #They are the 'my bf is not here so I will cut of all my shirt sleeves now' 💀💀🖐️ #I'm not saying valen won't be joining their shenanigans I'm just saying he'd at least slow down the chaos by couple notch #Cuz he does NOT want to write up long agonising paper work (if it not for this he's just be like them trust) #Am I starting lorsan/merlin/valen ot3?? Mayhaps. #Anywyas #venus rambling #afk journey #afk lorsan #afk merlin

Hello! I'm sorry if you've already addressed this: But in the demo when it asks in chapter one if my MC has the same gender assigned at birth. It doesn't give me any options to change when I click no. Is that an error? Thans

Aaand 9naa is doing it again.

Apparently the actors in Kiseki Chapter 2 had to film some of their intimate scenes fully naked and without previous intimacy coordination in that regard. It also seems like the crew jokingly offered to go naked too (because that makes things better /s) which suggests that again this was a pretty spontaneous decision.

The same thing already happened during the filming of Check Out and I now wonder if they pulled the same crap during Venus in the Sky (my only hope is that if they had, they wouldn't have kept quiet about it because apparently to them it's good promo 😒).

Funny how pretty much every other Thai BL production company manages to film beautiful intimate scenes without having the actors go completely naked...

#bl industry #kiseki chapter 2 #thai bl #again this isn't about the nudity per se #this is about providing a safe and professional work environment for the actors #and with p much everyone from 9naa's previous series leaving as soon as their contracts permitted #this is painting a very shady picture #but also i get that people want to support the actors #i wanted (and still want) to support best and cheque too #and i watched both check out and venus in the sky #but this was before i knew what was going on #and how uncomfortable esp cheque really must have been

[katamarei]

I just got tickets to see my favorite band in the world (Justice) live and liiiiterally all I can think about is how I shouldn't have done it 😭

#the first venue I checked was sold out so I was kinda panicking got 3 tickets idk if my friends will even want to/be able to go with me #hotels are expensive and it's a 13 hour drive gas is expensive plane tickets are expensive renting a car is expensive I'm gonna frow up #if they can't go with me then idk I guess I'll just have to do it scared. except I know myself and I will just chicken out and not go #it's fine just a totally non refundable 500 dollars 🤢 #I fr feel like nauseous this is so much money what if it doesn't work out what if it sucks #I drag my friends out to this concert and nobody has any fun

[odysseys-blood]

There’s nothing like hanging out w your average sick ppl to put your own (lack of) stamina in perspective.

#yall i literally checked out of the main events cause i thought i was gonna collapse #everyone was so excited and i was miserable #and i feel like i’ve improved!!!! #but man i am soooooo low on stamina proper #not drowning on my own juices anymore certainly #but i ain’t doing a long walk no siree bob #we didn’t even raise that much money cause they picked pricey venue #i don’t wanna be in charge again but i raised more alone in yrs past than this event did as a whole
